Russell Brand accusers get apology from BBC after damning investigation into sexual assault allegations
The BBC published a bombshell report about their investigation into Russell Brand ’s alleged history of sexual assault and inappropriate behavior while working for the network from 2006 to 2008.
Olivia also noted at the time that Brand joked about the alleged incident when he was on the air shortly after it occurred, with his then-co-host Matt Morgan quipping on a BBC show, “It’s been 25 minutes since he showed his willy to a lady.”The BBC reportedly found evidence that shows Brand exposed himself in front of a woman in one of their corporate buildings in Los Angeles in 2008.
Johnston wrote in his report that he interviewed Alice and that she “distinctly remembers the driver being smartly dressed, wearing a cap and that the car and driver which took her from school was similar.” The director also noted another alleged sexual assault incident that occurred while Brand was a staffer.
Johnston claimed that many were hesitant to come forward because they felt there “was no point in complaining as they believed they would not be listened to and, rightly or wrongly,” which is why he “can find no evidence” that most of this alleged behavior “was raised with management formally at the time.”
